The series of work represents and symbolises the fragile state of our oceans and a call for us all to think about the delicate balance we currently face, whilst admiring the oceans beauty and wonder. For the series Emma has foraged along the coast, finding dead Seaweed and plants washed up on the shore along with a variety of litter, plastics and raw pigments.
The 3D mixed media pieces are built on different levels replicating the depth of our beautiful rock pools. The tactile quality of raw pigments, delicate handmade paper, experimental cyanotype, foraged dead plant, collage papers and paper casting are precariously placed into fragile organic forms. These delicate works are an imprint and trace of place representing the delicate balance and ever - changing nature of our coast and rock pools.
